[The Eagle]

Hi there fellow Coachellans,

If you guys are interested, here is my five-article series on my first Coachella experience. I am a South African freelance music journalist, and got the opportunity of a lifetime to attend and report on the second weekend of the festival this year.

The only thing I didn't enjoy was the background color of your site. Brown makes me think of poop. Besides that, it was a really good read. I really liked the titles of each article and they were the perfect length. It didn't feel stretched out. Keep up the good work!

Thank you very much! Yeah, I chose that colour scheme so it ties in with the feel of a 'nest' (The Eagle's Nest). The titles (except for the introduction) are all song lyrics/titles of artists that played on that particular day, and in the case of the summary, over the weekend:

Day 1: Palma Violets - 'Step Up For The Cool Cats' (taken from the bridge)
Day 2: Phoenix - 'Entertainment' (the chorus)
Day 3: Red Hot Chili Peppers - 'Californication' (the album and the song)
Summary: The Stone Roses - 'This Is The One' (song title)

Great to hear that you liked the lengths, as I really wanted to make sure that each performance got a decent review.

Good read, good pics, very nice job. I did leave a comment (I mistook "mail" for address not EMail though). As much as you seemed to enjoy Coachella, you should consider Bonnaroo next time. Although a lot alike, completely different in many ways ... Tnx again for the read and glad you enjoyed the states and the fest. cr**** (Colorado Ron)

Thank you, I saw that. Yes, Bonnaroo does seem more of my vibe, as I am a big rock fan. I'm just so grateful for the quantity and diversity of festivals that you have there in the States. You look at these lineups and can't believe who's headlining! What a privilege to have that much choice in your own backyard
